A fishing destination known as Wachusett Reservoir awaits in east-central Massachusetts, where a sprawling 4,100 acres of water are filled with diverse fish species. Anglers come here to pursue Bass, Sunfish, Perch, Trout, Crappie, Salmon, and Pike. Fishing is limited to areas along the 37 miles of shoreline and can be accessed at Route 60 (Gates 6-16,) Route 140 (Gates 17-24,) Route 12/110 (Gates 25-35), and West Boylston (Thomas Basin.) Unfortunately, boating is restricted here. Nearby lodging, camping, shops, and dining are available for anglers and their families visiting Wachusett Reservoir.
